Science & Benefits

Erythritol is a four-carbon sugar alcohol produced by fermentation. It acts as a hydration stabilizer, working synergistically with glycerin to create a long-lasting moisture reservoir on the skin. It is zero-comedogenic. For acne sufferers, its value lies in its 'cooling' sensation and its ability to reduce the 'stickiness' of other humectants, making high-moisture serums feel fresh and weightless on oily complexions.
